    Today we release an update to our Digital & Media Asset Management Report. In addition to insights on DAM Trends for 2012, we now have an in-depth 12-page evaluation of Avid's Interplay MAM, and a first look at MerlinOne's Merlin DAM. Avid is primarily known as a provider of audio and video production technology (Media Composer, Pro Tools, etc.). In early 2010 Avid acquired a German company called Blue Order for its media asset management software, called Media Archive. As 2011 drew to a close, Avid announced the release of Interplay MAM 4.0, the first major release since the acquisition.

    I like Splunk.  I like Godfrey Sullivan and what he’s done with the company.  Steve Sommer is a great marketing guy and I think he’s done a superb job with Splunk’s marketing, particularly in imbuing the company with a hip, fun, consistent corporate personality, making them the Virgin Americas of log file analysis. I also like Splunk because many months ago, they let me riff with Godfrey and many members of the e-staff about marketing and strategy.  They were smart and it was fun.  They even gave me a superb bottle of wine for my troubles.

    In the old days, static publishing (or baking, where the CMS generates static HTML files at publish time), was pretty much the standard.

    I have been doing a lot of work in digital asset management (DAM) over the past several months.

    17 Jan 2012 | 8:57 am
    I can’t tell you how many times over the years that I’ve needed to coach people to “answer the question” when dealing with senior executives.  It amazes me to sit in meetings and watch people hem, haw, dodge, extemporize and do just about anything but answer the question they were asked.  I have a old friend who used to say that corporate meetings were often “parallel independent conversations” due to two factors:  [1] the non-answering of questions posed and [2] the non-listening that comes from people spending all their energy preparing what they want…

  • Two Bosses Are Better Than One: Thoughts on the Virtues of Matrixed Organizations

    30 Dec 2011 | 3:07 pm
    When I was new to the workforce, I was violently opposed to matrixed organizational structures.  “They’re bullsh*t,” I thought, “people will always favor one direction over the other, making one of the two managers superfluous.  And, if that’s the case, then why bother at all?” It was only as Business Objects grew, and me with it, that I realized matrix structures weren’t an “if” but a “when” and the ability to work within such structures would become a defining attribute of someone who “could scale” within the…

  • First-Day Stock Price Appreciation is Not the Correct Measure of IPO Success

    Dave Kellogg
    19 Dec 2011 | 11:21 am
    Zynga went public last Friday.  The company raised $100M and was valued at around $7B off TTM revenues of about $1B (see S-1 here).  This puts the Zynga’s valuation in the same range as Electronic Arts, a company founded in 1982 and whose TTM revenues are 3.6x times larger at $3.6B.  One might easily say:  “Wow!” But because the shares did not rocket upwards on the first day of trading the media portrayed the IPO as lackluster.  Consider, for example, some of these headlines: Game Maker Zynga Finds Barren Fields in IPO-ville (San Jose Mercury News print headline) Zynga IPO…

  • ECM: The Future is Here and it is Cool, Sexy and Exciting

    Carl Frappaolo
    6 Jan 2012 | 12:03 pm
    It’s no secret, I am an ECM geek, and with good reason. ECM continues to evolve in powerful ways, and permeates every aspect of every business and our personal lives as well. Ok, let me repeat, as I have in many previous blog posts, I apply a very broad – but realistic – definition to ECM. You may not all call it ECM, but the intersection of “content”, community and context (i.e. ECM) – no matter the application - is ripe with endless and amazingly powerful (and mundanely useful) possibilities.  [Note, I placed the  word content in quotes because (another popular…

    7 Nov 2011 | 11:37 am
    After 20+ years of  immersion in ECM and KM,  I still find myself in awe and amazed.  As I have commented before, ECM and KM are forever changing in ways that astonish.  Managing “stuff” that seems to defy management, and mimicking the human brain’s ability to infer meaning, spot associations and discover insights locked away in words and pictures, is not an easy thing to do. We have come light years from the 1960s when IDI’s BASIS and IBM’s STAIRS heralded the ability of software to mine content from a library of documents. But, excitingly so, we have a long…

    8 Sep 2011 | 7:52 am
    In the days leading to the 10th anniversary of what is now simply known as "9/11", it is difficult not to encounter media reliving that moment and/or looking back on its aftermath. The focus of this blog has never been political, and I will not start now. But, in today's Metro, I read an article that, while focused on 9/11 had a ECM undertone to it, perhaps only picked up by enterprise content management (ECM) geeks such as myself.  The article, "The US Lexicon: New Words for a Changed World", provides an interesting overview of the effects of 9/11 on the…

  • ECM - We've Come So Far, But Some are Still Stuck at the Gate

    Carl Frappaolo
    24 Aug 2011 | 10:47 am
    Wow – it has been a while since my last blog post (at least on this blog). Being not just a consultant/analyst but practitioner of ECM and KM sure is a full time job. It leaves little time to pontificate on market conditions. But a few weeks ago, something occurred in my personal life that thrust me into the world of ECM, and I was so surprised by what I witnessed, that I felt compelled to blog about it. In this case, I was not a consultant or practitioner, but end-user of ECM, (or lack there of.) You see, I refinanced my home.   As many of you know, over the  last 2 decades I…

    1 Jul 2011 | 3:54 pm
    Last week I attended the  Enterprise 2.0 Conference, and for me personally, it was marked by many firsts. It was the first time I did not keynote or hold a session. It was the first time I did not attend for the majority of the time, and, it was the first time I attended as a full-fledged member of the user community and not an analyst.  The latter two "firsts" had an impact on my observations and how I will blog about the event. Being a full-fledged member of the user community was fundamental in a changing perspective – so much so that I am going to save those…

    “Once a photograph of the earth, taken from the outside is available, a new idea as powerful as any in history will be let loose.” – Sir Fred Hoyle in 1948. What do you draw when you are visualizing a project on a whiteboard? I draw an arrow from left to right that represents a timeline. Not always. But many times. The way you visualize, determines your focus. I’ve been playing with the simple but powerful concept of a Project Story Circle. The project is represented by a circular arrow and is divided in half with a horizontal line. The idea behind it is the following:…

    When I enter a room to facilitate a two hour workshop, eyebrows are raised. I look like my old aunt that packed for a weekend to visit relatives. Two large suitcases full of clothing. Just in case. You never know what the weather might turn out to be. Or if we decide to go to a fancy restaurant. So. I enter a room looking like my old aunt, only because we both carry way too much luggage for such a short period of time. I carry two plastic bags with post-it notes, index cards, colored paper of different thickness, permanent markers, white board markers, color markers, and tape. Yes. I know.

    When Columbus set out to discover America, he didn’t have a map that had America on it. That was the whole point of discovering it. Centuries ago people were sailing the world with incomplete maps. Some knew that the earth was a sphere. A globe. A ball. A round thing. Some maps were created representing the world as a sphere, without having all the information available. This is important for people working together in uncertain and ambiguous situations. The coin dropped when I read this story by Cynthia Kurtz where she talks about reading the book “Maps: Finding Our Place in the…

    Twelve years ago some of my colleagues celebrated New Years Eve in the office. The world of IT was braising itself for The Millennium Bug. I was partying like it was 1999. Actually it was. I spent half of the first hour of 2000 stuck in an elevator. Not because of a software bug, but because 8 friends and me were in an elevator that had a capacity of four. When we switched from 1999 to 2000 we really expected a change. There was going to be a difference. There was a reason we had to do things before January 1st. You know.

    We've just released an advisory paper, "Are cloud-based file-sharing services too immature for the enterprise?” It's a question that many of our advisory customers have been asking us, so we decided to answer it in briefing format. Cloud-based file-sharing services have obtained some traction, even among larger organizations, because of ease of provisioning and mobile access, as well as for exchanging files with external parties.

Jive talked social networking as an alternative to SharePoint 2007 when that was hot, then pivoted to more of a collaboration message as customers got more serious, then joined the cloud/API/ecosystem bandwagons at the right time, and so on. But now Jive has IPO'ed, and customers have reasonable expectations about understanding where the company will go after…

In 2011, MediaBeacon was without question the DAM vendor I received the most inquires…

Twins run in her family, Sherri has two younger brothers that a fraternal twins. Let me tell you, if I ever found out that I was going to have twins I think that I would freak out! In a good way.

During the fire chief’s presentation he was talking about how that church that burnt down a few months ago was determined to be arson. The neighbor next door to the church had said that he had heard an explosion and when he looked out of his window the church was fully engulfed in flames. No one has been arrested for the church burning, and…

I tried to help him get settled into his new place, but he wanted to do it all himself. I tried to give him advice on utilities, but he said it was Just Energy Offers and no big deal. He was confident he could handle it himself. I should be happy that I raised an independent child. I spent his entire life teaching him to…

    My folks and I were driving down The Springs Road and saw the remains of the church that burned down a couple of days ago. Rumor has it that arson is suspected. The church had been for sale for a number of months and then one night it burned down. We did not hear if there were any casualties or not. Regardless, I can’t help but wonder about the story behind that. I never knew much about that church; never knew why it was listed for sale. I often wondered if the congregation had acquired a different building and why. Was it being occupied by homeless people that were using some kind of…

It has been at least ten years since I’ve been on roller skates, and I’m wondering how much time I’ll be spending on my butt if I decide to go. My previous experiences at roller rinks has been that there are always a few people that cut you off and trip you up. I wonder if the rink has roller blades available to rent, or just the traditional skates; I think I’d like to try my hand at blading if I go to it. I wonder how sore my muscles will be…

    As we discussed a few weeks ago, the release of Joomla 2.5 on this day was expected.  Surpringly, knowing the release date seemed to make the wait longer. Without a doubt, Joomla.org will be a busy place the next few days. Joomla's marketing people tell me that Joomla! has been downloaded more than 28 million times and powers more than 1.6 million. Those are pretty significant numbers and this new version of Joomla! is expected to help continue the popularity of this open source CMS.Tweet Widget Google Plus One

    concrete5 today announced that it has redesigned the company’s admin dashboard to leverage Twitter Bootstrap. An early pioneer of in-context editing, concrete5 gained popularity due to its ease of use for managing the content of websites. With this in mind, the company has leveraged the Twitter Bootstrap toolkit to offer a completely redesigned, centralized dashboard for backend administrative tasks with the release of concrete5.5.1. While concrete5 is frequently used by webshops to deliver sites to clients who want to make edits on their own, many people who use concrete5 are DIY websites…

    I don’t often talk directly about my day to day work here on this blog, but I’ve just come back from a management team meeting and as we discussed our messaging and our own customer engagement journey, I found myself using a simple word time and time again and it was credibility.

    It is not quite the night before Christmas, I am standing in one of the big barn electrical stores and I have in my hand a piece of paper. It’s a list. But, not any list, the handwriting is a little crude and in the very deliberate hand of my youngest daughter it is addressed for the attention of Mr S Claus. I may not be the jolly red fellow, but I have been entrusted to deliver. As I look down the list, my daughter’s fervent wish is that she is delivered a ‘Wappy Puppy’. Through sketchy knowledge of the world of my daughters and a little eavesdropping I believe it is a game for the…

    This week I had the pleasure of returning to an old haunt as I was asked to present at Gilbane Boston. I say ‘old haunt’ as I was actually completely blindsided by the fact it was not at the Westin in Copley Place – which, by my reckoning, it had been there since before Vignette was founded (or when we were all children). Therefore my cunning plan to stay in my current favorite reasonably priced hotel in Boston (the Colonnade), positioned just outside the Copley place action was a bad one. Anyway, besides my mistake, the venue was actually great and better than the half mall/half hotel…

    This week I was at Gilbane Boston and as I gorged on the bountiful smorgasbord of ‘key takeaways’, inspirational quotes and great conversation at this CMS industry love-in – I was disarmed by possibly the quote of my week. As I sought out my buddies Robert Rose and Scott Liewehr for mentioning me and my blog in a workshop they gave at the event – Robert said to me “yes, that great blog you used to write”. My immediate reaction was obviously “OUCH!” as I zeroed in on the “used to”, completely ignoring the fact he said “great” – and then I thought about it and…

American internet users spent 53.5 billion minutes on Facebook during May 2011, far higher than the next most visited site – in fact more than the next four most popular sites combined. Commentators are pointing to these numbers and referring to the shrinking web, that to an increasing number of folks Facebook is the web. Is it really?

    Last weekend I and fellow CMS Mythbuster John Eckman braved a snowstorm to attend the 2012 Western Massachusetts Drupal Camp.

The day was filled with informative sessions on a number of different topics including a fantastic hour on the basics of Linux and Drush provided by a local tech guy named Rick Umali. My favorite talk was given by a collaborative of developers whose session title seemed to indicate a totally successful project outcome. Although the site they presented was absolutely stunning there were many…

    When the Gilbane Content Management conference came to Boston last week, we tossed out a challenge.  I gathered positioning statements from 10 vendors who were exhibiting at  Gilbane. I scrubbed the company names, leaving the guessing game to the CMS Myth readers as to who they belonged to. The challenge sought the first person to identify in the comments section which vendor was associated with each statement. This wasn’t a trick question, but yeah, they all sound a lot alike. A little digging around the Gilbane site was all it should’ve taken. Nearly a week later we now have the…

    During our web content management selection work, invariably we get asked, “How many CMS systems exist in the world?” It’s a very Zen-like question, kind of like asking, “How many stars are up in the sky?” The honest answer to both questions is: many, and each one is a little different from the other. But you wouldn’t necessarily know listening to vendors “differentiate” their wares or articulate their product advantage. Trust us when we say there are limitless differences among the hundreds (nay, thousands) of CMS platforms — commercial, open source, SaaS, pick your…

Elcom is clearly defining a blue ocean market of historical buffs interested in CMS. Gutsy move fellas. I can see the other vendors racing to play catch-up. Unverified rumors tell us that Ektron is including a map to the lost city of Atlantis in its 8.5…

While both strategies/technologies are inherently different, they both first and foremost focus on content. Let's take a look at those concepts, starting with the 'C'.

    I have read several posts recently about the merits of SaaS WCM and the reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that they bring.  I’m not going to bother linking to them here because, to me, they read like marketing schlock from some SaaS WCM vendor.  I think any TCO comparisons between SaaS and traditional WCM deployments are premature, especially in the enterprise market.  I say this for two reasons: first, there are very few WCM vendors with SaaS offerings, and none in the enterprise market, so any comparisons are likely to be apples-to-oranges.  Second, just…

    Michelle Shapiro
    6 Jan 2012 | 9:26 am
    Is your bank lean? What does that even mean? Being lean is all about creating as much value for the customer as possible by eliminating processes that consume time, resources and space. In a word: efficiency. The concept is usually associated with manufacturing, but your bank can be a lean operation as well. And the ...

  • Four IT Security Lessons to Learn From Anonymous’ Stratfor Hack

    Kaitlin McCready
    30 Dec 2011 | 10:11 am
    On Christmas Eve, while most of us were immersed in the holiday spirit, others were immersed in the sensitive information of Stratfor Global Intelligence Service’s client list. A group of hackers, associated with the collective known as Anonymous, breached Stratfor’s systems, obtaining the credit card numbers, passwords and home addresses of the company’s customers. The group has already used this stolen information to make donations to charities, such as the American Red Cross. (This story keeps evolving as new information is released.

  • Using Compliance as a Competitive Advantage

    15 Dec 2011 | 9:40 am
    “Companies should be able to turn the necessity of sharing information with the outside world – what regulation is all about – to their competitive advantage,” says IT specialist Conrad Thompson. Thompson was speaking with Alan Cane of the Financial Times. I agree. Using compliance as a competitive advantage is a great idea. Too many ...

  • Performance-Based Funding: It’s About Getting Students In and Out the Door

    Tom von Gunden
    7 Dec 2011 | 9:49 am
    For programs I administered back in my faculty days (not so long ago), I had to respond to increasing pressure to measure and report on student success. The buzzword then was assessment (i.e., identifying which specific learning outcomes were actually being achieved), and the accreditation agencies were the ones primarily applying the pressure. Since then, ...

  • Enterprise Content Management and Meaningful Use

    Jared Blankenship
    6 Dec 2011 | 6:22 am
    As of last week, OnBase officially earned meaningful use certification as an “EHR Module” from the Drummond Group in both acute and ambulatory settings. I have mixed feelings about the meaningful use initiative and its ultimate impact on the quality of patient care. That said, I think that our certification says a lot about the state of ECM in healthcare and what it means to your organization.

  • Embrace Chaos for Customer Centricity

    Diane Berry
    27 Jan 2012 | 11:27 am
    Last week during a webinar discussion with Michael Maoz of Gartner, Leo Annab from CA Technologies and our CEO, Louis Tetu, I asked where each would recommend that a leader get started on the road to customer centricity. Not surprisingly, the answers were a fitting end to a wide-ranging, intellectually stimulating discussion about: • The nature of knowledge and Insight, applied to customer centricity • How CA Technologies has evolved its approach to managing and accessing information to place customers at the center of operations • How Gartner sees the relationship between customer…

  • Better Insight Drives Customer Centricity

    Diane Berry
    17 Jan 2012 | 2:06 pm
    Does this sound familiar: “This year, we will build our business processes to center on the customer.” Or, “This year, we will enhance the customer experience.” While placing customers at the center of operations and enhancing their experiences are common goals, they are not often successful initiatives. Too often, companies execute on customer centricity only in marketing and customer service—leaving out parts of the organization that have information important to enabling customer centricity and a better experience, and importantly, to ensure products are created that meet…

  • Can Knowledge Be Engineered?

    Diane Berry
    10 Jan 2012 | 6:53 am
    Considering that knowledge is ostensibly the most valuable asset of an organization—hence the term “knowledge capital”—it is not only interesting but perhaps essential to consider if knowledge can be engineered. If we can engineer knowledge—which would equate to better Insight, as Insight is the ability to gain knowledge to take action—we would in effect increase the efficiency and effectiveness of operations in, say, Engineering. In Engineering departments particularly, knowledge is king, and yet information is in multiple, siloed systems and engineers and others are often unable…

  • Steps to Unstructured Data Nirvana

    Diane Berry
    19 Dec 2011 | 7:57 am
    In my last blog we looked at the nature of mercurial data and identified two truths: 1. It is constantly changing; and 2. It exists in silos. Here, we will talk about what some companies are doing to use diverse and ubiquitous unstructured data to transform their businesses. Monitor. This is the first step that most companies have taken to get involved with unstructured, social media data related to their business. Listening can provide certain benefits, too, such as helping you to understand what people are saying about you. However, listening without responding doesn’t do much for your…

  • The Nature of Data

    Diane Berry
    15 Dec 2011 | 4:42 pm
    Like all persons, places and things, data has certain characteristics. A child may be mercurial, for example, but data is far more so – it is everywhere at once. Perhaps that is why we have a hard time understanding the nature of data. It is so different from our own nature, and we try to manipulate data to…well, to make it more like us. Unstructured data, in particular, resides everywhere at once and in many different formats. It is in the enterprise and in many places outside the enterprise; it can be in the form of text, video, voice or graphics; it can be contained in event or…

  • OpenText Management Server and Delivery Server 10: Access Content Elements of Different Pages

    20 Jan 2012 | 1:39 pm
    OpenText Management Server and Delivery Server are excellent OpenText tools to create Enterprise Web Applications. Utilizing these tools, you can access Content Elements of different pages to display on other pages of your site. There are a few ways to do this, but this is what I found to be the most successful. Recently, one of Oshyn’s clients wanted to create a promotion module that would be displayed in the center of several specific pages. The content of each promotion pulls information from a Product Item. A Product Items contains elements like standard fields and text, and they…

  • SaaS WCM TCO Comparisons are Premature

    6 Dec 2011 | 9:08 am
    I have read several posts recently about the merits of SaaS WCM and the reduction in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) that they bring.  I’m not going to bother linking to them here because, to me, they read like marketing schlock from some SaaS WCM vendor.  I think any TCO comparisons between SaaS and traditional WCM deployments are premature, especially in the enterprise market.  I say this for two reasons: first, there are very few WCM vendors with SaaS offerings, and none in the enterprise market, so any comparisons are likely to be apples-to-oranges.  Second, just…

  • Oshyn's Review of the 2011 Gartner Magic Quadrant

    Gartner has released their annual Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management (WCM), a report that helps businesses make purchase decisions about leading WCM software vendors. Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Web Content Management also reports on industry trends. This year’s four major trends are: (1) Businesses are looking for their CMS to impact not only their internal productivity, but revenue and profit as well1. (2) Businesses are aware that their customers are reaching them through multiple channels (mobile, social, etc.) and they want a CMS that will not only work across all…

  • AIIM study finds enterprise social software improves sales and marketing communication

    Ron Miller
    25 Jan 2012 | 7:33 am
    Over the last 6 months, AIIM has been working with Andrew McAfee, the man who coined the term Enterprise 2.0, to see what impact enterprise social software has on productivity in the enterprise. What they found was mostly positive. AIIM invited McAfee, who is principal research scientist at the MIT Sloan Center for Digital Business to study social software in the Enterprise. The culmination of their work is a three-part white paper series, titled When Social Meets Business Real Work Gets Done." If you cover Web Content Management, or any area that involves marketing, one of the…

  • MegaUpload case likely has no impact on enterprise cloud services

    Ron Miller
    24 Jan 2012 | 3:49 pm
    When cloud file-sharing service MegaUpload was shut down by the U.S. federal government last week, an article from PCMag Online pointed out that when the feds closed down the site, they took illegal and legal files with them--and left some unhappy users in their wake. That had to leave some IT Pros wondering if that kind of take-down has any implications for their relationships with cloud services. While it's impossible to say with absolute certainty, chances are if your service is used mostly for business purposes, this type of situation is not likely to come up. When I questioned Box.net…

  • Survey finds many users blow by SharePoint security

    Ron Miller
    24 Jan 2012 | 9:38 am
    A new survey of 100 SharePoint users across a variety of business sizes and job categories found that users were surprisingly cavalier when it came to maintaining SharePoint security requirements. Survey participants were attending the UK SharePoint Saturday conference and the survey was conducted anonymously. The survey, which was conducted by Cryptzone, an IT threat mitigation company, found that when asked if they understood that taking content out of SharePoint made content less secure, 92 percent answered in the affirmative, yet when asked if they were willing to take it outside of…

  • Apple needs to step up for textbook plan to succeed

    Ron Miller
    24 Jan 2012 | 8:56 am
    Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) made a controversial leap into the K-12 textbook business last week and the response has been varied. The textbooks are interactive, update automatically and at $15 or less a pop, they are clearly cheap. What's more, Apple lined up the three biggest textbook publishers in the United States, but there are critics aplenty. First of all, it requires you own a $500 iPad and according to a post on MSNBC that could be a huge barrier to entry--and Apple didn't announce any plans to subsidize the cost. In conversations I observed across the social Internet, most folks said their…

  • Pew: U.S. tablet and eBook reader ownership jumps

    Ron Miller
    24 Jan 2012 | 8:08 am
    Recent data released by the Pew Internet and American Life Project found that eBook reader and tablet ownership increased dramatically over the holidays driven by cheaper offerings from Amazon and Barnes and Noble. In fact, Pew found that ownership of both types of devices nearly doubled from a similar survey taken just prior to the holidays, in December. Pew reported that there was very little movement from the middle of last year into the early Fall, but the introduction of these lower-priced devices clearly had a huge impact on sales. And a closer look at the numbers shows that both the…
